Need some positive thoughts/prayers - UPDATE

Update: Sorry for being MIA this weekend, but it flew by quickly! The pup did well in surgery and was able to come home Friday evening. They found the foot of a stuffed animal in there. It was about an inch in diameter and it was firm, so definitely wouldn't have been able to pass on it's own. Being only 2.5 days from surgery you'd never think it! I'm trying my best to keep her from jumping and playing with our other dog!

Thank you to everyone for all the T&Ps. We had a good weekend and I'm definitely feeling better all the way around. You gals are the best! Creepy internet hugs to all!

Original post:
I took my dog to the vet this morning because she has been vomiting since yesterday evening. They did an xray and saw something was bunching up/blocking her intestines, then did an ultrasound to get a better picture. They're still not sure what it is but know it's a foreign object and that it needs to be surgically removed so they're getting her ready for surgery now.

On top of this, I had already been feeling a little down lately because I feel like our house is constantly in shambles and I can't find time to clean it properly, I want to lose this baby weight so bad but every night I just can't muster the motivation or energy to work out, and I feel like we've been having so many financial hits lately (this $1000+ vet bill won't help) and having debt just stresses me out completely. All in all just feeling like a crappy mom (and fur baby mom especially) today.

I know I just have to take a deep breath and know it will all work out. I need to sit down with the hubby because I need his help and I'm not asking for it like I should. He just started school again last week, so he's not home 3 evenings out of the week. We've done this before but having a mobile baby is much more exhausting/overwhelming to do on your own.

Anyway, thanks for listening to me vent/whine. Pic of the my Fiona bear (and bebe) for your time.

  • T&P for you and Fiona. Try not to get too down on yourself. You are not a crappy mom. I think we all feel like like we should be doing more (I know I do!) but really, there are only so many hours in the day.

  • Ts and Ps, hope your furbaby has a successful surgery!
    I feel the same way with all the stressors of life some days, it's hard not to get down sometimes! I just have to remind myself that I'm human and can't always do it all!!

  • Sorry to hear about your pup. Thankfully with nearly all foreign body surgeries, the dog recovers quickly and fully, and only the pocket book is left with some residual pain <-- says the veterinarian in me.

    I can completely sympathize with feelings of mom inadequacy with a dirty house and a DH who doesn't do the things that I wish he would. Yet I too struggle to ask for help. After landing myself in a pretty deep hole, I finally had to ask DH for help because me trying to do everything put me on a path of self-destruction. It wasn't easy to ask for more help, there were lots of tears involved, and it all came out wrong at first, but I needed to ask, and so far I'm glad I did. I hope you find a way to ask for help also.

    Hugs to you.
